here we can talk about maybe changes to the fbi right away. maybe we should, of course. we can talk about stopping immigration reform. it is really remarkable. and now do you have this growing course of conservatives saying let's load this down. leadership however, is hanging on. boehner yesterday on fox news said it may slow down by a couple of days but immigration reform is something we have to do because they know if they don't do it, they're in trouble demographically. they're going to keep this train rology but you do have those conservatives using it as an opportunity. >> bill: they have a lot of support around the country and the talk radio hosts around the country. they derailed it before. they might be able to do it again. igor volsky here, managing editor of think progress talking about the issues of the day with you. 1-866-55-press. join the conversation. we'll be right back. >> announcer: this is the "bill press show." >> watch the show. >> only on current tv. you know who is coming on to me now? you know the kind of guys that do reverse mortgage commercials?

the fbi has been involved. it has really gotten big. in all of that reporting, "the new york times" can -- nor anyone else can ever substantiate it. >> that's the thing that sticks out to me. you would think that somehow somewhere, somebody along the line would be able to corroborate that story. and when you look at the reporter that wrote the original story, getting matthew boyle who left "the daily caller" and is now with breitbart, he has a list of running -- >> bill: is that a -- is that going up or going down? [ laughter ] >> or let's say it is a move further right. further down the fringe and toward irrelevance maybe. >> he has a history of running with these rumors that you know, one of his other stories was that john boehner was going to resign as speaker of the house. >> bill: we saw how that worked out. there is a whole financial impropriety that looks like the fbi is investigating whether bob menendez took too many free flights or reimbursed the government. but we're talking about the prostitution controversy now. it looks li

calling on the fbi to investigate, accusing democrats of being nextonian. that was the second phase. now that we are into the third phase of the story, which is mother jones is packed with another report this morning that it looks like mitch mcconnell was using senate staffers members of his senate crew here in washington to do the opposition research for his campaign, which, of course is against the law. there are so many dimensions. let's go back to the beginning. there is no doubt about it. and by the way, every candidate does this. if you are running against somebody you want to know, you do opposition research on your opponent and on yourself, by the way, because you want to know what they might find on you and you want to know what's out there for them. >> it's how the game is played. >> they were not looking at ashley judd's position on the issues. we don't know whose voice this is, but whoever the lead consultant to do the oppo research is reporting on what they found. first of all, mentally unbalance add. >> she is emotionally unbam answered, chapt

this is not a stray fbi agent. and you know, i find that really, really disturbing. on the a.p. front just thinking about the combination of what we learned in the last few days and the a.p. situation the a.p. was 20 phones for about a two-month period. now, we're talking about trillions of telephone calls being traced the same way. they weren't listening in on the a.p.'s phone. all they had there as in this new nsa revelation, all they had there was the telephone number of who called who and for how long. >> bill: whatever happened to the old-fashioned kind of concept of probable cause right? that they might search our home or our car or our business or our phone records if they had probable cause to think we had some connection to terrorists? >> it is very disturbing. i mean, you know, legally, it is sort of reminiscent of what the framers called a general warrant. just the ability to peruse through without any -- without any authorization at all. again, it has to be said that the program the nsa program was adopted in some fashion by congress. that there has been a level, at
